Michael Smit is a Dutch artist based in the San Francisco
Bay Area (USA) and The Netherlands. He creates temporary, situation-specific
art projects at public sites, as contexts for co-creation and worldmaking.

In a universe where everything is connected and relational he understands
art as the creation of new meaning through dialogue between one self
and the surrounding world. Michael Smit chooses to create work on-site,
aiming to invite inclusive and accidental audiences to become artistic
activators and co-creators. One could call him a relational or interventionist
artist.

Approaching the world as his studio, for each project he
chooses from a broad range of media (from drawing or painting to
video projection, from solar-powered electronic message boards to
conversations, etc) as it fits the inspiration, project and site.
